They had one short sentence in there that he still had a tiny alternate primary flight display. Still had control surfaces. He knew he was descending and his authorized air space. Pull up, look at the pfd, do some resets, follow helmet malfunction protocols.

There was very little about a devils advocate side to the story.

I could imagine others joking about ejecting for minor warnings or trolling him. Especially in the marines.

Do a FOIA on all ejections because his is just one. He had a good 27 year career and ended as a colonel with retirement benefits.

I think this was just a story, less an investigation. It's basically his view, the lack of closure, and the result.
